Ten years ago and ten years later.

1. Ten years ago, we were the children of our parents. Ten years later, we are the parents of our children.

I didn't know the warmth of home ten years ago, and it took me ten years to realize the warmth of home.

Ten years ago, you were my deskmate. Ten years later, you became someone else's wife.

Ten years ago, I sang a song about you at my deskmate. Ten years later, I thought of you at my deskmate.

Ten years ago, I thought I was a big tree. Ten years later, I realized that I was just a grass.

Ten years ago, I longed to leave home and go far away. Ten years later, I am eager to go home from afar.
